Abstract : Background: The aim of the study was to find the effectiveness between video assisted teaching one-to-one health education programs compared to conventional health education program on PPIUCD among postnatal mothers.  Methods: The design used for the study was randomized controlled trial among 204 (102 in each group) pregnant mothers at the Women and Children Hospital, JIPMER. 204 mothers were chosen by simple random technique method and randomized into (two groups) intervention and control group by lot method. The study was done in antenatal outpatient department of JIPMER. The duration spent for each participant was 10-15 minutes. The intervention group received video assisted one- to-one health education about advantages of insertion of cupper T and control group received pamphlet based health education about advantages of general contraceptive practice. At the end of six weeks in addition they were also contacted to find their postnatal clinic contraception practice during the past six weeks.  Results: Mothers given one-to-one health education in intervention group had accepted 28.4% PPIUCD as compared to 7.8% of the mothers in the control group, who were given pamphlet based health education given and it was found to be statistically significant at p<(0.00) level. The knowledge about contraception was also significantly better with 60.8% in the experimental group when compared to 44.1% in the control group.  Conclusion: The study concluded that video assisted one-to-one health education was more effective in adoption of post-partum intrauterine contraceptive device among postnatal mothers. When compared to conventional pamphlet based general contraceptive education.
